oh how come some tg apply social visa,i thought thai citizen no need visa if stay not more than 30 days.

i think hor it also depend on the custom officer,some sipeh kualan like my girl told me custom reject her fren from entering sg when she come with her husband who is a expat working and living here.

No visa normally get 14 days. Good for u if you need more days . Letter comes from you. Remember you personal particulars and why she is here. Reinforce it by adding Photocopy of IC since I inferred u got nothing to hide.If apply visa, 1 month is quite likely.

If u are already on for a while, u can do what I do for my tirak. I have 2 accounts with UOB 1 of which is a normal savings accounts (no book, only ATM). I then link my main account with this one so that I can use my card for both accounts and she can only see the designated ATM account whose ATM card I gave her. She can take money at any Thai ATM that has the PLUS logo. Transfering of money done by either a visit to ATM or Internet. Each time she withdraws is a S$5 charge, so she draw draw enough to cover the charge and put into her own bank. Cheaper then using remittance at GM ($12 per transaction) in my case. 1st she forgot only withdraw 100k B cos dun want to take too much. Kena "butter" from me (gently lah), now she remember liao. Remember daily limit for her to withdraw is 20k B. Anybigger sum than 20k, consider remittance. GPL at GM not bad. can transfer to their UOB or DBS account and give them a call, once u are their customer. No need to go down to GM even.

Maybe u already know all these.

Mai bpen rai. Driving licence also can lah. All they need is a photo ID. Today big brother can track u whereever u go. IC or Dr Lic, same same for govt dept. For visa application, give her a letter from yourself - address to "Whom it may concern" or the Singapore Immigration, giving reasons why she is invited to come - to meet yr mum, get to know ur mum, holiday, blah. She can take letter and go apply at the SG embassy in BKK for the visa. Depending on yr reasons, she may get up to 3 months. Same for us going up.

More interest in biz of a regional nature using LOS as base, or anything not centering around pubs or liquors.

Met up with Free and one other bro. I must say that based on our conversation, I would think that Free's case is likely to work out as it does not contain many of the pitfalls associated with the majority of the failure cases. His circumstances are also very different.

I do not post this to reassure Free of his relationship. I don't think he needs reassurance from anyone. I just wish to offer my opinion on the matter, based on what I have heard from him.

But should I eventually have to leave that end behind, I think I will do my part to help preserve that beautiful end - ensure that the drastic changes that had been made out of faith in you can continue to persevere.

Well, I share out of a sincere heart to help some who may be in the same boat (or stepping in) to see the other options/possibilties available. While some may treat what I write as beautified fiction or whatever they might call it, it is not my problem nor concern. They should simply ignore my stories if it irks them that much. To each his own. For I walk my life's walk independently and I do not need to seek the approval of others, be they fellow pilgrims (or fallen ones?) or just bystanders. However, when others offer pearls of wisdom, I will consider and if they makes sense, embrace them.

My life journey still goes on, and whether I finally reach where I hope to go, only I will reap the rewards or suffer the consequences. I had fallen once and I am not too proud to see/admit the mistakes we both made, but it does not mean I will fail again - at least not in the same way. Key thing is I had learnt from my previous experience as to what works and what dun, and don't repeat my mistakes, and I know that she has too, or it would be tough to still be good friends. For sure, the single biggest glaring thing that was wrong with my earlier experience was totally eliminated with the maturity or older age of the woman I now chose (actually more the experience she had), and it is showing by the rate of real progress we had made over the last 6 months. It is good to have a tirak who have not given me reasons to even suspect that there may be another party lurking around the corner. What sweet Peace of Mind. Something I had thought will be impossible with TGs, but then how many TGs do I know then? Now that I am experiencing it, I count my blessings and say "YES!"

Hahahaah, its not too bad to be in my boat. Having got the advantage for being so close to someone and not having to commit too much and too deep for too long. As she knows her direction better, I am letting her to decide on the junction, afterall it doesn't matters much to me anymore. I have given her to key but she chosen to misuse it. Too bad, there is no second key.

You indeed have the right spirit and mentality in handling failures and relation. I believe those who follow your posting close enough will benefit and learn a thing or two in how to make their relationship with their tirak works. A valuable lesson that could hardly come across.

I've never regreted my decisions, be it right or wrong. Some relationships last longer, some shorter, I never knew, and I didn't care. I enjoyed it while it last.

The same goes for my present wife. I cannot predict the future, whether it will be forever, or whether it will turn out like my previous. It doesn't matter. Of course I would prefer to have it last "til death do we part" but it doesn't matter.

I do what I think or feel is right, not on the opinions or advises of others, and faces the consequences myself, not blaming others.

Life goes on bro.

Yes right, I hold a pretty similiar principles as you. I enjoy and cherish every moment as it is, though I may not know if it will last forever or if I am the only one. This will ease both side a lot more to enjoy a sweeter relation.

Bro freee, sorry the thread too long to follow, seem like your have new tirak? wat happen to the old tirak you love most?? never heard of your break off??

With this type of r/s, don't look too far ahead. I always tell my tirak there is always a tomorrow and this is as far as our relationship is...........

good, as when things turn sour, you wont be as hurt if you really could hold on to your principle. If you dont insist to be the only one and forever, the relation will probably sweeter and last longer, I have seen enough tirak relation failed bcos of this.

No harm to keep her if her maintaince is not too high and if she is not too troublesome, at least you got a free companion with you are in BKK. You in Hdy now? I fucking free and sian now, thought of heading north for a bachelor night or two.
